    I have a third generation nano, and I'm going to be doing alot of driving for the holidays, so I was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for an FM transmitter for it?

    I've scanned Best Buy's website (that's where I'm going to buy this thing) so I was just looking for some personal recommendations!

    Woot had one for 4.99 during the Woot Off. It sold out faster than I could put in my information. :(

    I believe the i-Trip is $40-50 and works extremely well (my sister has one) but I got a Belkin FM transmitter for $20 because I'm cheap. It works well enough, but can sometimes grab a weak signal, forcing you to reposition it.

    20 bucks? Damn! All the ones I saw on the BB website were 65+ bucks.

    I know I should wait until black friday, but round trip drive from SA to Houston means that I NEED a healthy supply of music.

    if you have a tape deck or an AUX input, i'd strongly recommend those hard lines over the FM.. esp. if you're doing long driving, cause it can get annoying having to change what station you're using in diff areas to find the best signal.. I'm sure Belkins are good and all, just even better and easier with a hard line.

    That slipped my mind. I'd definitely suggest the iPod-to-cassette connector as well. Would have gotten it myself but don't have a tape player.
